I think that I may be approaching this real estate market a little differently then some of the posts that I read here. First of all, I don't understand it when people say that they can not sustain a loss in this market. Speaking for myself at least, I will probably sell my home for 25% less then I could have two years ago. But I bought it seven years ago when the home prices were a lot lower then at the top of the building boom. End result is that I will still get more then twice what I paid for it. So, I do not consider it a loss, just less profit. The housing market is generally then same everywhere right now. I have seen the prices drop at The villages equal to the price drop where I live now. I will sell for less and then buy for less, it will all even out. Plus, moving to The Villages will be worth it, at any price!!!! We have visited The Villages twice now and have spent more then five weeks among some of the most inclusive and warm people that I have ever been privileged to meet. So in closing, We are coming to The Villages no matter what.
